Where to start. I've taken a little over 3 months off from the blog. But I have come back. I'll just give a very short review of "The Odyssey" to start.
What can I say? This is the classic adventure story. Filled with names and characters that many of us have heard all our lives. This story still keeps us on the edge of our seats to this day.
Amazing novel. Definite must read in my opinion. Still couldn't understand everything in it to my liking. All those Greek names are...well, they're all Greek to me.
That was my major failing: following the the characters. The main ones are easy. But the not-so-major characters just kept falling through the cracks in my mind. But who cares. Fun book.
I hope you get to reading and finishing it. And congrats to all those kids who had to who had to read it in high school and finished without the cliff notes. And shame on the teachers/schools who only assigned parts of this amazing literary masterpiece. It should be all or nothing.
Bye for now. Next we get to some Greek plays.
